“lovely new hotel...room a bit small...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2012

We check in on afternoon 18th of May just day after the Norwegian National day that might explain slight unfriendliness of receptionist (might of been hangover from the night before?). She did explain most of the details but missed few things. The rest of staff we met for the rest of our stay there friendly and helpful (reception or bar).... More

“Great hotel with friendly staff”

Purchased on Expedia for about US$100. Very good value for Oslo. Modern, trendy hotel with friendly (real 'friendly' not American style) staff. I had a room on the 9th floor with a great view. It didn't feel like a 'budget' hotel at all except for the loo roll and toiletries. Great wifi, fantastic breakfast (easily one of the better ones... More

“Decent Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 8, 2012

Needed a place to stay in Oslo at short notice. Did the secret hotel thing and this hotel came up. It's actually not a bad location if you know where you are going (don't go down the hill outside, go back through the park and you'll eventually come to the Tram within 5 minutes and shopping/night-life). Might be an idea... More

I stayed at this hotel and was unlucky to get a room facing the road. As others have pointed out its noisy, slightly surprising that the front desk does not mention this at check in.
